They certainly had put some work to achieve the results they wanted over the previous years but I don't think its accurate to say they had exhausted all the other possibilities. And the particular crisis didn't start until 1861. Whether or not there were good possibilities for a long term solution there certainly was some posibility to avoid a horrible war. It might not have worked in the end, they might not have found any acceptable negotiated solution, but they really didn't give it a lot of time. It would be hard to imagine any negotiated solution being worse for the South than the Civil War was. Tim
